[0024] The inside of the suction port 46 is fixedly provided with an electromagnetic valve 47, the electromagnetic valve 47 is signal-connected with the intelligent terminal 37 and is controlled thereby.

[0025] A plurality of air passing windows 27 are equidistantly arranged in the inside of the slitting arm 24, a sensor device 28 is fixedly arranged on the top of the air passing window 27, and the air passing windows 27 in the same slitting arm 24 are in communication with each other through a wire passing channel 201.

[0026] The outer wall of the air leakage swing ball 26 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped air guide strip grooves 204 and a plurality of thin spring pieces 203, and the plurality of thin spring pieces 203 are not in contact with the inner wall of the air passing window 27.

[0028] In use, first, the intelligent terminal 37 controls the vacuum suction pump 39 and the electromagnetic valve 47 to work simultaneously, with the working of the vacuum suction pump 39, the air in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 is gradually extracted along the suction port 46, the through-wall pipe 22 and the suction pipe 33, at the same time, the vacuum detection machine 301 detects data through multiple pressure measuring probes 35 in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 and transmits the data to the intelligent terminal 37, when the air pressure in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 reaches a specified value, the intelligent terminal 37 controls the vacuum suction pump 39 to stop working and controls the electromagnetic valve 47 to block the suction port 46 to prevent leakage.

[0029] Then the intelligent terminal 37 continues or schedules the vacuum detection machine 301 according to the preset program, and transmits the data to the intelligent terminal 37 in real time, if the vacuum degree data changes, an alarm will be sent to remind the staff to repair.

[0030] When the vacuum suction pump 39 extracts the air in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11, with the gradual vacuum in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11, the flexible blocking ring 43 and the blocking ring 45 adaptively fit the branch pipe 25 and the probe line 34 under pressure, thereby achieving multiple sealing effects.

[0031] All sensor wires 202 of the sensor device 28 are finally collected in the branch pipe 25, and the branch pipe 25 has a connector, and after the connector is connected with the sensor wire 202, the branch pipe 25 is still in a sealed state and will not cause leakage, and finally the signal is transmitted to the intelligent terminal 37.

[0032] When the vacuum degree in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 remains at a specified value, the airflow in the interlayer remains stable, and there is no disturbance of the airflow, and all the leak detection pendulums 26 remain stable under the action of gravity, if the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 leaks, air will enter the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 from the leakage point under the strong suction of the vacuum, at this time, the airflow near the leakage point will be disturbed first, and the leak detection pendulum 26 closest to the leakage point will be swung or shaken, at this time, the shaking of the leak detection pendulum 26 will be sensed by the corresponding sensor device 28, thereby the data is transmitted to the intelligent terminal 37 in the first time, and the corresponding position diagram of the sensor device 28 will be displayed on the display screen of the intelligent terminal 37, at this time, the staff can timely and accurately find the leakage point.

[0033] When the leak detection pendulum 26 swings, the pressure measuring probe 35 of the vacuum detection machine 301 also detects the change of the vacuum degree data in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11, the intelligent terminal 37 comprehensively processes the vacuum degree data in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 and the data of the sensor device 28 to judge whether leakage occurs, under the double action, false reporting is prevented.

[0034] When the intelligent terminal 37 judges that the leakage actually occurs, the alarm is sent in time, and the vacuum suction pump 39 is controlled to work in time to continuously extract the air in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11, so that the vacuum degree can be kept in an acceptable range before maintenance.

[0035] All the along-weld arms 24 are arranged along the welds, because the welds of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 are most prone to leakage; The design of the air guide strip groove 204 can increase the force of the gas disturbance on the leakage detection pendulum ball 26, and the thin spring member 203 increases the vibration sensitivity of the leakage detection pendulum ball 26. In the state that the leakage detection pendulum ball 26 does not reach the shaking state, the small air flow disturbance can drive the vibration of the thin spring member 203.

[0036] The inner measurement positioning mechanism 2 is arranged along the longitudinal welds and the along-weld arms 24, so that accurate detection can be realized for the weld area of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 which is most prone to leakage, and the leakage positioning efficiency is improved; The leakage detection pendulum ball 26 is hung through the pull ball vertical rope 29, and the air guide strip groove 204 enhances the air flow force, and the thin spring member 203 enhances the vibration sensitivity, so that the rapid response of the small leakage can be realized; The vacuum detection assembly adopts the double data comparison mechanism of the intelligent terminal 37 and the vacuum detection machine 301, so that the false alarm caused by a single data source is avoided, and the detection accuracy is improved; The through-wall pipe 22 is adapted to the branch pipe 25 and the probe line 34 through the skirt-shaped blocking ring piece one 43 and the blocking ring piece two 45, so that multiple dynamic seals are formed, and the vacuum leakage is prevented; The along-weld arm 24 is connected through the air passing window 27 and the wire passing channel 201, the sensor lead 202 is arranged along the inner wall and gathered in the branch pipe 25, so that the line sealing property and the signal transmission stability are ensured; The total control cabinet 31 is partitioned into the total control room 36 and the pump room 38, so that the independent operation and the cooperative control of the intelligent terminal 37, the vacuum suction pump 39 and the vacuum detection machine 301 are realized, and the system reliability is ensured; The electromagnetic valve 47 is accurately controlled by the intelligent terminal 37, the suction port 46 is blocked after the vacuum extraction is completed, the external air backflow is prevented, and the interlayer vacuum degree is maintained stable.

[0037] Embodiment 2 A method for detecting the vacuum degree of a liquid hydrogen double-layer spherical tank, comprising the following steps: S1, starting the vacuum suction pump 39 and the electromagnetic valve 47, extracting the air in the interlayer of the double-layer spherical tank body 11 through the suction port 46, and collecting the interlayer vacuum degree data in real time by the vacuum detection machine 301 and transmitting the data to the intelligent terminal 37; S2, when the interlayer vacuum reaches a preset value, the intelligent terminal 37 controls the vacuum pump 39 to stop working and closes the electromagnetic valve 47, maintaining the interlayer vacuum state; S3, the intelligent terminal 37 continuously receives the vacuum monitoring data of the vacuum detector 301, and if the vacuum changes abnormally, the alarm system is triggered; S4, the airflow disturbance near the leakage point triggers the corresponding leak detection swing ball 26 to swing, the sensor 28 collects the vibration signal and locates the leakage position, and the intelligent terminal 37 combines the vacuum data and the sensor signal for double verification; S5, after confirming the leakage, the intelligent terminal 37 controls the vacuum pump 39 to restart to maintain the interlayer vacuum, and sends the leakage point position information to the maintenance personnel at the same time.
